We have added a fix to the 8.12 beta release due out later today.

The fix preserves spaces.  The only small issue is leading spaces.  Acrobat ignores leading spaces when drawing the form field text string and we have made QPL draw the string the same way when leading spaces are used.

Thanks, Ingo and AndrewC.

Ingo suggestion did not work.  

The spaces do not get lost when the string is assigned to the field, they get lost in the flattening process.

Is there some workaround that you can suggest while QuickPDF is being fixed?

Thanks

We will be making some changes to fix this to work the same as Acrobat.

Hi Shea!

What you described is the normal way.
Multiple spaces in one row will be condensed to one.
Try this ...
A := 'A' + #32 + #32 + 'bcd';
...or something with Chr(32).
This will work.

Cheers and welcome here,
Ingo

I have run into a problem with multiline form fields when I include mulitple spaces in a string that I am saving.

If I do the following:

A:='A            bcd';
QuickPDF.SetFormFieldValue(idx, A);

QuickPDF.FlattenFormField(idx);
QuickPDF.SavetoFile('Temp.pdf');

When I look at Temp.pdf the field is "A bcd"

If do not flatten, when I look at the file in Adobe the spaces are still there.

Is there something I can do to stop the flattening process from removing the spaces?

Thank you
